Each year, thousands flock to Los Alamos—home of groundbreaking science where discoveries are made—for the three-time award-winning ScienceFest.

2018 marks ScienceFest’s 11th year and is July 11-15 with a “Science Rules in Los Alamos” theme.

“ScienceFest is a must-attend, five-day festival complete with live music, interactive and family-friendly events for all ages and out-of-the-classroom learning opportunities,” said Los Alamos County Marketing Manager Kelly Stewart.

ScienceFest events are focused on celebrating past and present scientific accomplishments and fostering an interest in science for future generations.

“From start to finish, ScienceFest week is a genuinely iconic event to Los Alamos,” Stewart said. “It showcases the incredible discoveries made here—both past and present—and celebrates the future of science. We invite all to attend. Whether you’re a budding scientist, a curious mind, or a history buff, you’ll find activities to suit all your interests in Los Alamos this summer, and we challenge everyone to visit and to discover their own ‘aha’ moments.”
